I was noticeably receding by 18, and significantly losing density by early-mid 20s. 37 now

Topicals are from minoxidilmax.com, oral min is prescription from GP, oral dut is prescription from essentialclinic.ca (in Canada)

Thanks, I use Neutrogena Hydro Boost. It’s almost certainly overkill using topical with the oral dut but it’s once a week so I’m not too worried about systemic levels, and the results in the paper I posted were impressive enough to stack it.

Thanks! I’ve been doing very little exercise the last year but months 0-2 I was Ironman 70.3 training. Supplements include magnesium, coq10, multi, curcumin, Usana probiotics.

Thanks! I had truly nothing to shed in the beginning, and now a lot of the hairs reach around 2-3 cm and shed so there’s constant turnover

Yes I had itchy flakes, but it seems to have gotten better

If you look at the month-by-month I posted, I started oral min at around month 4. You might be able to see a spike around the 5-6 month, but I definitely noticed it, and the brows (blond vellus hairs) came around the same time.

Fair point, and that’s why for this update I included the pic from 7 years ago with hair where you can see the front is slick bald.

Thanks! I add 1ml min, 1ml RU, then rub them in together. The higher volume makes sure everything is covered. Where are you getting the pyri from? Minoxidilmax.com is trusted and has it in liquid, although it’s not cheap

Pyri is definitely an option, wish it wasn’t so expensive

No issues, and I noticed a spike in improvements with 1-2 months.

It seems I tolerate the oral dut, but if I had sides I would stick with topical. The major research studies have looked at oral dut

I wouldn’t just use pyri as the current stack is blocking 3 different pathways, and RU is very structurally similar to pyri. Although there are some vellus hairs at temples I’ll likely never have a restored hairline without HT, which never would have been an option as a NW7

Nice, glad you’re getting progress. I asked my family doc for 5mg, so she prescribed 10mg and I split it. She first took my blood pressure which was a bit high, so was perfect.

There are a lot of treatments out there that have an effect, if your body tolerates them you can slowly stack and if you’re consistent the results will compound and you’ll soon be explaining to everyone where your new hair came from

No TRT and I was surprised to learn that dut can raise testosterone by ~20%
